The influence of bait presentation on bait uptake by mice (Mus domesticus) in infested urban domestic dwellings (2014)
Journal Article
Murphy, G., Baker, R., Felix-Thomas, A., & Fowler, M. (2014). The influence of bait presentation on bait uptake by mice (Mus domesticus) in infested urban domestic dwellings. International Journal of Pest Management, 60(1), 22-32. https://doi.org/10.1080/09670874.2014.885613

Several researchers have established a link between the presence of house mouse (Mus domesticus) infestations and detrimental effects on human health. Controlling mouse infestations therefore requires methods that are quick, safe and effective. A tam...

Statistical application of barycentric rational interpolants : an alternative to splines (2014)
Journal Article
interpolants : an alternative to splines. Computational Statistics, 29(5), 1065-1081. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00180-014-0480-7

Spline curves, originally developed by numerical analysts for interpolation,
are widely used in statistical work, mainly as regression splines and smoothing
splines. Barycentric rational interpolants have recently been developed by numerical
analy... Read More about Statistical application of barycentric rational interpolants : an alternative to splines.

Introduction: Stricturing is a common complication of Crohn's disease. Endoscopic balloon dilatation (EBD) offers a valuable alternative to surgical intervention, but there are limited data on factors influencing its safety and efficacy.

Methods:... Read More about Endoscopic balloon dilatation of Crohnʼs Disease strictures.

Estimation and inference under economic restrictions (2014)
Journal Article
Parmeter, C., Sun, K., Henderson, D., & Kumbhakar, S. (2014). Estimation and inference under economic restrictions. Journal of Productivity Analysis, 41(1), 111-129. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11123-013-0339-x

Estimation of economic relationships often requires imposition of constraints such as positivity or monotonicity on each observation. Methods to impose such constraints, however, vary depending upon the estimation technique employed. We describe a ge... Read More about Estimation and inference under economic restrictions.
